Kings, city postpone release of final arena details

City officials and owners of the Sacramento Kings on Thursday said they are postponing the release of final details of their agreement for the proposed arena at Downtown Plaza, The Sacramento Bee reports.

Kings president Chris Granger told The Bee, "There are so many issues we need to make sure are buttoned up on what is a 35-year deal."

Meanwhile, architect AECOM will release the final site designs and plans by Dec. 23.

The announcements were made late Thursday at City Hall, where potential subcontractors were attending an outreach meeting with representatives from project manager ICON Venue Group and Turner Construction.

The Bee also announced Friday that the team plans to spend $5.5 million to a public art program at the arena as part of the city's Art in Public Places Program.
